The Cedar Cottage is in the heart of Derby right next to Vertigo MTB, local cafe's, the council run bike wash and what has been called some of the best mountain bike riding in the country. You’ll love our place because of its location to everything required.. The Cedar Cottage is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families (with kids).

To us, reviews on airbnb is about making the holiday/visiting/touring world go around - it is very important to us to leave honest reviews so that the next potential visitor gets a good idea about someone's experience. And we hope for the same in return. Alex and Nat's place truly was "a find"! Everything about it was absolutely perfect for us. While the kitchen never pretended to be gourmet, it was everything we needed. Fabulous shower. Comfy beds. Lovely and warm cottage. Perfect location. Very fair price - a pub room costs more than this and you have to go down a hall for a shower and toilet! Oh, and can't do any cooking in a pub room. Gorgeous little town. Easy to get meals in the day time in Derby, but in the night would suggest you have to go out of town (not far though). Nope, cannot think of one thing to fault Alex and Nat's place, all major plusses!!! We thoroughly recommend it!!! Thanks heaps!!

Perfectly situated in the middle of Derby, this cottage has everything a group could possible need.

Ian2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

Great location for a weekend on the Trails. Cedar cottage is2 doors away from 'The Hub' which has great pizzas and coffee place next door.The Trails are a 5min walk from Cedar cottage or a 2min bike ride. Great value for money and the kitchen whilst small had everything you need and was great to see the condiments that were left over from other groups. The garden shed is good to lock bikes up would be even better if you could hang the bikes vertical in the shed to make it easier. Great place!!

Chris2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Great location and host.

Brodie2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

The cottage was warm, clean and cosy. Right next to Vertigo mountain bikes is the best location in town. Great facilities to cook with and information on the local surrounds. The hosts were very helpful and interested in us having a good time. There is a great Pizza Hub just a few doors up for upmarket dinner/drinks. We will be definitely be back to Cedar Cottage.

sophie2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

Great value. Great location. This little cottage is hard to beat with everything at your doorstep. Clean, neat and well maintained it has everything you need for a few days. It is bigger than it looks in the photos. Let's face it if you ride all day and there is good pizza and beer on one side and a great cafe on the other, you don't need a whole lot of space. Bike shop also happens to be right next door. Great for a couple with kids or 3 or 4 friends.

Andrew2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

This was our second stay at Alex's Cedar Cottage. Highly reccommended!

Christian2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

The cottage was perfect for us (2 adults and a child). Warm, cosy and right near pizza, coffee and the trailhead. We'll definitely be back. Thanks!

Another perfect trip! We were welcomed in person by Virginia and there was homemade vegie soup all ready for us. The fruit bowl was full and cupboard included coffee for the coffee machine. The house was warm and cosy for our stay throughout the often not so good weather. The very nearby mountain bike tracks held up well in the wet and it was great to get back to the house and be able to wash the bikes off straight away at the wash station provided. This is the place to stay if you are mountain biking in Derby. (It works perfectly for us as a couple with a baby who take turns riding.)

Jen2015-05-30T00:00:00Z

Yet another wonderful AirBnB host, Virginia gave us such a warm welcome to her gorgeous cottage. The cottage and her family have a great deal of history with Derby. She has renovated the cottage beautifully, with lots of character but also with the all important super comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. She went out of her way to help us arrange babysitting and we were extremely grateful for the pot of hot soup for our late arrival. We loved picking herbs from the garden and sitting on the deck. Plenty of room for tinkering with our bikes and super close to the trails, which were fantastic to ride. Thanks again.

Natasha2015-03-15T00:00:00Z

Quaint and comfortable historic cottage set in a wonderful garden perched on a rounded granite outcrop overlooking the breathtaking Cascade River gorge. The property is a credit to the friendly and interesting owners, Virginia and Gary. Highly Recommended.

Laurie2017-01-18T00:00:00Z

Hi Virginia The cottage was awesome. We loved staying there and will be back for sure. Derby is a quiet little town that i think will prosper from the new trails. A better pub would defenetely help the town. Cheers

Andrew2016-04-07T00:00:00Z

Excellent communication and very well catered for mountainbikers.

Brigitte2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

We totally loved every minute of staying at Cascade Cottage. We bought our two teenage sons so they could go mountain bike riding on the new trails which we all loved, but we also really enjoyed just relaxing around the cottage too. Virginia and Gary have thought of everything, including a bike washing area and special hooks to hang the bikes in the garage. The cottage itself had everything we needed and more. A beautiful place to sit on the deck and overlook the trails you have just explored. I highly recommend Cascade Cottage.

Rebecca2015-03-10T00:00:00Z

We found our host Virginia & Gary to be very welcoming on our arrival, the guided tour of their charming cottage was very helpful as was the use of the bike storage and workshop ( they have really thought of everything to make our stay most enjoyable) especially the delicious home made soup Virginia had prepared for us. The Cottage has a warm and homely feeling to it. We will definitely be booking this again on a return trip to Tasmania.

I'm old, about 100 years, and I'm a bit rough around the edges - but that is currently being revitalised, both inside and out.
A new bathroom & new beds help to improve the relaxation experience.
There is a large table for meals, TV, Blue Ray Player and movies.
A secure bike storage area and deck have been built out the back, together with a large cement area and fire pit out the front - to enjoy quite beers and reminisce about the epic day you have had riding the Blue Derby tails.

Heating is via a new heat pump and wood heater both located centrally in the house. The house has been re-wired and insulated.

Located in a quiet Derby side Street, just over the road from the public camp ground. 5oo meters to the entrance to the Blue Derby MTB trails.
The various Derby food locations are within 5 minutes walk, including Crank it Cafe, Dorset Hotel and The Hub.
The public tennis court is across the road, together with the kids playground. Fishing and swimming in the Ringarooma river (License required for trout) is popular with the kids.

This is a really cosy little place gives you that country feel. its currently being renovated so will get much better also. Its great for the MTB rider only a 2 or 3 minute ride from the derby trail head. The house has lock up shed coming off the back decking for bike storage. A fire pit area out the front. plenty of room to park the car. and a bbq on the back deck once its complete.

Jed2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Return to sender lodge is located in the heart of Derby. Sleeping 12 it is the perfect base for MTB groups riding the Blue Derby trails. Spacious comfortable and conveniently located near the trails and cafes.

entire_home

A good location to stay and experience the MTB tracks and local history of Derby. Great for large groups and a good setup for doing maintenance on bikes and storing them. Small but adequate kitchen. Fire works a treat, plenty of warmth. Beds are very comfortable, but would pay to have a extra blanket/sleeping bag for another layer in the Winter months, as I did and It was cosy. Sarah the host is very accommodating and a good communicator and also provided extra wood when asked without any issues. She also met with me on check in, which is not that common with AirBNBs so makes things more personable. Would stay there again.

Anthony2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

A great set up for bike riders, large groups and families. Great location in the main street close to coffee and trails

John2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

This is a great place for riding groups. Plenty of storage for bikes with a set of tools & work stand. The wood fire was a blessing on a wet winters day, made the whole place very cosy. Helped dry soggy riding shoes. We will definitely be booking this place again.

John2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

A great place, perfect for MTB groups who want to be right at the base of the trails. The tool room/bike storage area was an unexpected bonus! Looking forward to coming back and staying here again.

Katie2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay , and would highly recommend anyone to stay .

Tom2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

"Return to sender" is a centrally located property in Derby, walkable to all the major facilities and definitely rideable to all of the trials. In its formative years, it was the old community building and the lounge room still renders the reception window which was quaint. A little log fire kept the lounge room fairly cosy and there was plenty of seating and a TV to keep us entertained. It was a little chilly in the main double bedroom and really chilly in the dorm room with only 2 boys in it. If all 10 beds were occupied, it would probably be warmer! There were plenty of blankets however. Loved the complimentary beer that we had never tried before! Kitchen was basic but perfectly workable for a morning fry up or evening roast and supplied with tea/coffee/sugar! Being able to take our dog was also special but, the property is not fenced and there are chickens that like to visit, so, your dog needs to be well controlled to be there safely! This would be a great venue and great value for a group of blokes/chickies to have a mountain biking weekend although it was also perfect for us, our son, his best mate and our dog!

Lisa2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

Great location for mountain bikers, good setup.

Lou-ella2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

Great house to stay in while riding the epic trails in Derby! Best to bring a few riding mates to fill all the beds! Excellent bike room with bike stands and maintenance tools! The craft beer in the fridge was a nice surprise

We had a fantastic stay, and appreciated all the thoughtful and generous touches. My daughter especially loved playing with Daniel's daughters, and the animals added a lot of homey character. There's clearly a lot of love and hard work in the house and garden. Highly recommend for travellers who enjoy a personalised experience.

Laura2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

We loved the house and the renovations Daniel has done. The open fire was welcome on a chilly night. We found the extra Doonas as there is no electric blankets. The shower is over the spa bath with an amazing shower head with lots of hot water. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a meal including breakfast. Daniel meet us at the house and showed us through the house and how things worked and had light the fire for us.

Denise2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Great house in the middle of town and very close to the start of the awesome MTB trails. Would definitely recommend staying here as the host is fantastic and keen to ensure you have a great stay. Daniel took time out of his day to show us the mtb trails which we all loved. Great stay :)

Martha2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

Jennifer2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Thank you very much Daniel, for sharing your house with us. It was nice to meet you, your daughters and pets. Wish you all the very best in your house restoration journey.

Maria2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

This place was just perfect, Daniel could not have been nicer, it was so clean and had heaps of character, Daniel even offered us a late check out, 5pm !!!! He was able to give us lots of information regarding the area and even offered to take us on a bike ride. He was easy to communicate with and responded property to any questions. He was ready to welcome us to the house and give us a bit of a tour. The fire place was going making it nice and warm. the beds were soft and the house was huge with lots of interesting corners with a lovely homely feel. This place is really going to boom as the little town of Derby grows, for those of you who bike, GREAT location, walking to the nearby restaurants and able to walk to the start of the Derby. I will recommend this place to anybody hoping to spend some time in Derby. Thanks Daniel and see you again!!

Louise2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Our newly-renovated, century-old house is nestled on a hillside with panoramic views of the forrest, just a three minute bike ride from the centre of Derby and just five minutes from the head of the Blue Derby Dragon trails.
This house is ideal for family holidays, business retreats, and weekend mountain biking adventures.

After a day pounding the trails, cool off in the crystal-clear waters of the Ringarooma River, just 60m from the back door; then lie down in the verandah hammock, crack open a beer and watch the wallabies come out to feed in the golden hour sun.
If it's chilly outside, you can bet it will be cosy inside. We've installed a powerful heat pump, and there's a wood fire in the living room.
We believe the little things make a big difference when you're on holiday, so we've furnished the house with really nice things.
In the kitchen there are Smeg appliances, stoneware crockery and ambient lighting.
In the living room there are books you'll actually want to read, a Bose sound system connected to NBN WiFi and a trunk full of board games.
In the bedrooms are king-single, queen or king-size beds with high-quality doonas and big, fluffy pillows. Guys over six feet tall -- you're in for a good night's sleep.
Here's a closer look at the sleeping arrangements:
BEDROOM 1: One queen bed
BEDROOM 2: Two king single beds and two king single trundle beds. A king single is wider than an ordinary single and as long as a queen bed. The trundles are tucked under the beds and you can move them to wherever works for you.
BEDROOM 3: One daybed that converts into a king bed or two single beds
BEDROOM 4: One single bed. This room is small, but the view makes up for it!

Great location, beautiful house, perfect for exploring the local area, short walk to the pub! Would recommend to all

Chris2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

We have stayed in a few different places in Derby with our family of 5 (kids 3, 6, 8 years) and Georgia's house was the loveliest. Its been lovingly renovated and the kitchen was better equipped than any other holiday home we have ever seen. Opening the huge bi-fold kitchen windows allowed us to properly enjoy the gorgeous views in the surrounding forest. We loved that the home was built with both riding and relaxing in mind and would highly recommend it for either riding trips with mates or family holidays.

Jesse2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Nice spacious, clean and thoughtfully presented home in Derby. Private and quiet. We had a group of friends stay for a weekend of mtb'ing and we had a great time. This was a nice home to end the day in. Lots of nice additions like a bluetooth bose speaker, heatpump and wood heater, bike pump and good quality kitchen appliances. Would stay again.

Jonathan2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderful old country home lovingly restored with antique flair and modern touches. It's a perfect base to explore the area or hit the world class MTB trails. We especially liked the great collection of cycling and travel books. We'll be planning a longer trip with more time to sit reading on the deck or in front of the fire after riding.

The three-bedroom retreat is a peaceful, rustic timber cottage and ideal if you’re seeking a relaxing stay with family or friends.
Catering for up to six adults, the retreat's original timber interior with fresh paint and new carpet has a relaxed vibe. She probably wishes she was completely off the grid so we have provided many mod cons to make your stay super comfy.

The adjoining dining area is an inviting space with a 6-seater farmhouse timber dining table, wood fire heater and Bluetooth sound system with CD player. The dining room opens up to a leafy undercover patio with gas BBQ and picnic table.
The bathroom features a combined shower and claw-foot bath, and separate toilet. Hotel quality towels are provided for your stay. The internal laundry is equipped with a new 7kg washing machine and 5kg dryer.
The retreat has ample parking, a secure lock up bike store and wash down area. The take-your-breath-away large gum and rainforest garden includes a fire pit with stump seating - ideal for social gatherings and reflecting on your day's adventures.
Last but not least, the retreat is a charming old girl who has been around before you were a twinkle in your parent's eyes. Just like Gran, she just wants to be treated with a bit of care and respect. We really love it here and hope you enjoy it for who she is - a much loved home offering her visitors a peaceful escape from the world.

It is fully self-contained with an outdoor deck to re-hydrate while cooking a BBQ, after the days riding. There is also a fire pit and outdoor undercover pergola with power and lighting. We have a safe and secure workshop, with plenty of bike storage, and a bike stand for repairs, on site.

Located approx 1 hour and fifteen minutes from Launceston - Derby was once a booming tin mining town - the richest tin mine in the world during it heyday. The tiny, riverside village is a quaint surprise on the winding country drive from Launceston to the East Coast.
Derby is home to the world renowned Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails and The Trail of the Tin Dragon. It is also known for the Derby River Raft Derby, held each year. There are some Great places to eat local and within a short drive. We are happy to provide more detail upon request. There are 3 shuttle bus service operators to assist you to the higher MTB trails. We recommended to book if you require this service.
The operators are Bus to Berms, Vertigo, and Crank it cafe.

This lovely cottage was just perfect for our family of 5. Spacious, clean, comfortable and a very well appointed kitchen, with a great sunny deck with barbeque. There's plenty for the kids to do in Derby with the mountain bike trails. Bring your tennis racquets and basketballs as there's courts next door along with a park, swings, play equipment etc. Nice large yard where we had a game of backyard cricket. Neighbouring Branxholm has a swimming pool which we enjoyed as well. Great communication from Kris, friendly and courteous. Thanks for a lovely stay we will definitely return.

Selina2015-12-29T00:00:00Z

House was homely, clean, kitchen great, lots of space, back deck needs a roof... oh hang on, Kris is putting one up. The man thinks of everything. That's what this place is like - he's thought of everything for those wanting comfort and function for an outdoor active adventure stay (think MTB specifically, but also walkers, runners etc) . Noting the suggestions in the guest books, he also listens as many bits of advice from guests have been implemented. Brown towels for mountain bikers... of course. Great stay. Central to all.

Chris2017-01-21T00:00:00Z

John 2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Kris was really easy and pleasant to deal with. Very cosy cottage with everything you need. Derby is very much on the quieter side, but a good spot for outdoor exploring and road tripping to other areas closer to Launceston or the East Coast (Bay of Fires, Freycinet etc). Thanks Bro Town Cottage! Definitely recommend for a relaxing stay.

A great place to stay if you're coming to Derby to MTB. Newly renovated, plenty of space, lots of hot water and very close to the trails. Dealing with Cass was a pleasure and she even gave us a late check-out. Highly recommended!

Riverside Roost, aptly named after the legendary "Big Chook" MTB track, is a newly renovated three bedroom miner's cottage situated in the heart of Derby.
Conveniently located 250 metres from the trail centre, The Hub - Pizza and beer store, and an 11 second run to the pub (in workboots), the Roost provides everything you need to enjoy your time away in the beautiful Derby.

The Roost has beautiful river frontage views, glowing evening sun, and its own little beach area to enjoy a refreshing dip in the Ringarooma River after a long days ride.
With a new kitchen, bathroom and cosy fireplace, the Roost is the perfect place to relax and unwind with family and friends after enjoying all that the bustling town of Derby has to offer.
With enough room for 6 guests to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep, the Roost will get you ready for the world class tracks of Derby.

Vertigo shuttle and bike hire are only a short walk away. Vertigo are often busy so try and book in advance if you are looking to take the shuttle or hire a bike. We are also only two blocks from the local pub(eleven second run in work boots to be exact) and as the name suggests, right on the water. The people in town are helpful and supportive of the newly created riding scene. When looking for a place to eat, don't be afraid to also visit Branxholm, Winneleah and Weldborough pubs for fantastic food and drink.

If you are looking for a hidden gem with amazing views and amenities this is the place! We tried to local pub, very friendly and great value Would have stayed longer if we had the time!!

Jacqui and Fraser have set up a lovely clean and comfortable place to stay right near the blue derby mountain bike trail centre and looking out onto a lovely river - the cottage had everything we needed including a cosy wood burner - very much appreciated in the middle of Tassie winter! Thank you Jacqui and Fraser. Tanya pitt and family.

Blue Derby Base is a 3 bed miners cottage in a quiet (yet handy) part of Derby.
BDB has been set up for bikers with an emphasis on comfort - orthopaedic beds, super comfy lounge, cosy fireplace - and a Nespresso!
Outdoor entertaining area with gas BBQ, plenty of lock up bike storage area and plenty of offstreet parking finish off what is the ideal biker accommodation package.

BDB is a 3 bedroom miner's cottage with cosy, carpeted lounge area with comfy chaise lounge, slow combustion fireplace (plus electric heating), flatscreen TV and DVD player.
A fully equipped kitchen including Nespresso, dishwasher, slow cooker, sandwich toaster, full-size fridge/freezer, microwave, electric stove, Bluetooth speaker and everything else you'd expect to find by way of kitchen necessities (even a good sharp knife!).
The main bedroom has a queen size orthopaedic bed, second bedroom has 2 x orthopaedic king single beds and the third bedroom has 2 x orthopaedic king single beds and 1 x orthopaedic single bed - all with quality linen, warm doonas, wool blankets and an array of pillows to suit most tastes.
The north facing front of the house has a great sunroom off the main bedroom set up with comfy chairs and table - the perfect spot to enjoy a cuppa and get into one of the books from the bookcase.
There's an outside entertaining area with timber setting, BBQ and chimera - the perfect spot to share trail tails.
The bathroom has bath and shower (over bath) with timber vanity and plenty of hanging space, with a separate 'throne' room.
The laundry has a washing machine and dryer for your use and there are wall hangers for 4 bikes (plus there's a lock up shed out back with plenty more bike storage space and some bike maintenance tools for when things go awry).
Along with the single open garage for the car, there's a fenced yard with room for parking and bike washing facilities.
BDB is situated in central Derby off the main road in a quiet part of town - yet still within minutes walk (or pedal) to Derby township and the start of the MTB trails.

WHAT TO DO IN DERBY (OTHER THAN MTB)
Other than world class mountain bike trails, the walking trails around Derby are simply stunning - check out Environment Tasmania for more info.
Or you can always put in your kayak or canoe (you’ll need to BYO) down at the Derby picnic ground and enjoy the view from the Ringarooma River (even throw in a line – the river is well-known for flyfishing).
Be sure to check out Blue Lake – also ideal for canoeing, fishing and boating. Keep an eye out for some smokey quartz or topaz.
Take a day trip up to the coastal town of Bridport (about 30 mins) and enjoy an easy walk along the waterway and grab a coffee at one of the local cafes. You could then head west to check out some great wineries such as Jansz, Josef Chromy, Bay of Fires and Brook Eden (just to name a few!).
Scottsdale has a 9 hole golf course with very reasonable green fees if you’re after a more leisurely pursuit.
Check out the Dorset Council’s website for a list of events happening in the area.

Fantastic place to stay in Derby :)

Imojen2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

We had a good stay here for a couple of nights. The cottage has been extensively renovated inside and has all the mod cons. The inside feels very new and will probably develop more character over time. The outside areas are pretty rough but functional. The yard has a few toddler hazards (including unfenced fish ponds) which we suggest should be removed asap. Quiet location up the hill 5mins walk from town.

Andrew2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Really great place, perfectly set up for Blue Derby mountain biking, with a fireplace which kept us toasty and a kind of mud room/laundry so we could remove and wash all our muddy gear without having to trek through the lovely house. Big kitchen, easy to get in (tip: the keysafe is by the front door, the back one isn't the one for guests). Ride or drive into town - everything is within a few minutes. Thanks guys!

Kelly2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Great place all round. Couldn’t really fault anything. Beds lovely and comfortable with really nice linen. Kitchen fully equipped including coffee machine and pods, tea etc. The place was immaculate on arrival and has a booklet of instructions for the house and where to find things in town. It’s been really nicely renovated and is very practical for a mountain biking stay with the shed out the back, the back laundry room for housing bikes etc over night and you can ride to the tracks from the house. Hosts were great! Thumbs up from us!! We’ll be back.

Jess2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Fantastic house, in a great location. Great to have a safe space to be able to lock bikes away and to also be able to clean them on the lawn. Plenty of room for a few couples or a couple of families! Thanks, we had a great weekend!

Rhiannon2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

We had a grand time at Stu and Jo's place. The facilities at the house for bike maintanence was great. So close to the mountain biking trails and local cafes etc. Fantastic option for a mountain biking holiday in Derby. Would highly recommend.

Min2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable cottage in a quiet part of Derby, but only a short pedal from the trails. Appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the various types of pillows in the bedrooms and the spacious bike storage. BDB has been carefully renovated, but in harmony with its heritage as an old miner's cottage.

Alan2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

Stu's place was fantastic for a small group of friends to stay. The front of the house is newly renovated and was extremely comfortable - especially the beds!! We would definitely come back for another bike riding weekend.

Our eco-retreat is registered as "Land for Wildlife". All aspects of creating Tin Dragon Trail Cottages and the Settlers Hut have adopted principles of ecological sustainability with the objectives of providing a comfortable eco retreat. We produce our own electricity from a micro-hydro scheme, rain water is harvested for the cottages and we use an enviro-cycle system to treat waste water. Our farm has a herd of alpacas, organic vegetable garden & fruit orchard, free range chooks (Australian for “chickens”) and a very friendly, but “failed” sheep dog called Rusty.

The Settler's Hut was a perfect basecamp for a few awesome days of mountain biking in Derby!

This is one of the best places I have stayed on air bnb. It was great for our group of mountain bikers as it is right near the trails and has bike washing and storage. The beds are comfortable and there is heaps of space. Also the view is amazing. Highly recommended.

Kendal & Kristin2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

An amazing property to stay at - so close to the town centre. The lockable shed with bike stand was a very pleasant surprise also! Deryn was great to deal with and very flexible with our check-in / checkout arrangements! Cant wait to come back.

Jarrod2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

This house is spacious, if not huge; very well appointed, comfortable, private and located right nearby the mtb trails. Perfect for a large group, we loved every minute of our stay there

Juan2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

The place is fantastic. Exactly as described. I would probably prefer to leave a poor review just to preserve this as our private getaway but that hardly seems fair!! Blue Derby trails are some of the best you will ride.

Justin2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Great place and family friendly. Jo is a great host, and really worked hard to make sure we had all the information we needed to get us setup. The house is a perfect base for exploring the Derby Trails, a great place to base yourself for a biking holiday in Derby!!!

Crosskeys is perfect for mountain bikers visiting Derby. Jo has done a great job renovating the place. It is cosy, comfortable and has everything that you need for a perfect holiday. The house is warm in winter with the wood heater and heat pump. The beds are very comfortable. The facilities such as bike shed (lockable) with work stand, outside shower and bike wash are well thought out for mountain bikers to clean up before coming inside to relax. The only thing that is missing is wifi but that was actually great as we wanted to escape "connection" for a few days. And, because Derby has no phone reception unless you're with Telstra, it was a true escape! Jo is a great host! She was very helpful with all our queries and she left us treats in the house which was very generous and really not be expected. We will be back for sure!!

Stanley2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

Stayed at Cross Keys for two nights while we explored the Blue Derby MTB trails. The house was an easy ride to the bottom of the trails and is well equipped, with a large laundry, and the spacious garage for bike storage/maintenance. Certainly enjoyed a sun downer on the front deck and the comfortable beds. Jo was quick to respond to any queries and to assist with pre-trip needs. Look forward to returning for a longer stay soon!

Guy2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

Jo is a great host and helpful on all things Derby. The house is fantastic with so many features (too many to mention): great kitchen and big dining table, lot's of comfie spaces to sit and relax after a day of riding. Good heating (fire and heat pump) - warm for chilly winter nights. A perfect house for larger groups or families. Loved sitting on the front deck listening to the river flow and watching the kids playing on the tennis/netball courts across the road. Also a big backyard for Elvis our dog. The bikes were comfortably accommodated too in a secure garage. Great access to Derby and the superb Blue Derby trails.

My place is close to The Blue Derby Mountain bike trails.
Bridport
Scottsdale
North East Tasmania
Blue Tiers
family-friendly activities.
You’ll love my place because of;
the views and garden,
the closeness to the mountain bike tracks, bike rental, river for fishing, walks, pubs and cafes.. My place is good for couples, families (with kids), and big groups.

This is a very neat 3 bedroom home fully equipped for self catering.
All linen and towels provided.
There is a blue tooth speaker in the outer lounge and a smaller one in the bathroom.

The house is in the perfect position for people wishing to take advantage of mountain biking in the Blue Tiers mountain bike tracks. The house has a small workshop with some tools for working on your bike and a safe place to lock them up.

Great house!! Very well setup for riders and tourists alike. Lots of little things to make you feel welcome and comfortable (the almost instant hot water in the shower after a days riding is outstanding!). Location couldn't get any better!

Suzy2017-06-09T00:00:00Z

Very quaint & clean with lots of character, perfect place to stay while exploring the MTB trails & river walks in the area. Great service.

Jo2017-01-11T00:00:00Z

Excellent location for riding the Derby trails, could not have hoped for more! Lovely home, family friendly, excellent facilities and Steve was easy to contact and very helpful. We would love to stay again!

If you like your riding, running or hiking with the added advantage of a spacious, comfortable and very well maintained house to come home to at the end of a day - Steve's place is just perfect! Right in the centre of town, you're at the cafe's and trails within minutes. Highly recommend. Steve is prompt with messaging for any questions, and had all house instructions delivered well before we arrived meaning a smooth transition for all of us from airport to accommodation. The house would definitely be a perfect base for a family or a group of friends. Very happy with our stay.

Pru2017-03-11T00:00:00Z
